OBJECTIVE: To attract visitors to Collier County through Sports Tourism.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is scheduled to host the following Sports Tourism Events in
November 2018. The Tourism Division Sports Marketing Team has attracted this event to our
community. The projected hosting costs are based on past experience with similar events, the event

are the responsibility of the event organizer to pay. The Tourism Division proposes to reimburse the event
organizer for field rental costs, and operation support expenses based on room night visitation delivered to
Collier County from the event participants and fans. These expenditures are authorized to be reimbursed
through the BCC approved Sports Assistance Program.
Staff utilizes the BCC approved Event Application form (attached) to determine the appropriate amount
of recommended funding based on an acquisition cost of fifteen dollars per room night, which is a sports
tourism industry standard. Funding for these sports tourism events are subject to TDC recommendation
and Board approval.
